OSSTF/FEESO Education Week – May 1 to May 5, 2023

The theme for OSSTF/FEESO Education Week May 1 to 5 is ‘Public Education Works.’ This year, more than ever, it will be important for our Members to recognize Education Week and to get involved in their union. Teachers and education workers should proudly highlight their work in their schools, neighbourhoods, and communities.

OSSTF/FEESO has developed several graphics that you can share on social media that focus on teachers and education workers and the services they provide the students of Ontario and are available via Dropbox using this link:

Education Week, created by OSSTF/FEESO in 1930, is a time to highlight the work performed by teachers and education workers for the students in Ontario from Kindergarten to post-secondary. There are many actions that you can do to highlight your work.

Some of the recommended activities that you can undertake during Education Week are:

• Be your Bargaining Unit representative on your school’s parent council (ask your Bargaining Unit Executive how).
• Attend upcoming local and provincial rallies which highlight and fight against cuts to public services.
• Ask your union how you can get involved.
• Be involved in your community and wear your OSSTF/FEESO swag.

Thank you for your contributions and for being there for our students. You are important to them and to furthering and advancing the cause of Public Education in Ontario.
